On the murder of his brother Agathocles [see p.
      65a] by command of his father in <date when-custom="-284">B. C. 284</date>, he fled into Asia with
      the widow of his brother, and solicited aid of Seleucus. A war ensued in consequence between
      Seleucus and Lysimachus, which terminated in the defeat and death of the latter, who was slain
      in battle in <date when-custom="-281">B. C. 281</date>, in the plain of Coros in Phrygia. His body
      was conveyed by his son Alexander to the Chersonesus, and there buried between Cardia and
      Pactya, where his tomb was remaining in the time of Pausanias. (1.10.4, 5; Appian, <bibl n="App. Syr. 10.64">App. Syr. 64</bibl>.)</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
